Culinary Corner: Asian Cabbage Salad

I love this twist on a cabbage salad. It’s crunchy, unique and delicious.

Although jicama is gaining popularity, I was unfamiliar with it until now.

Jicama (pronounced hē-kə-mə) is a starchy type of root vegetable, that I would put into the kohlrabi, radish family. You can eat it raw, as well as cooked. If you like Kohlrabi and radish, I think you’ll enjoy exploring this one as well.
